PUFF - PUMP'D UP FUZZ FACE
Best Germanium Fuzz Face board uses Charge Pump
A modern take on a classic fuzz pedal
Pump'd Up means you can use it with other negative-ground pedals
The Arbiter / Dunlop Fuzz Face is one of the most popular and best sounding fuzzes ever made. This new layout takes the classic Germanium Fuzz Face sound, and adds modern conveniences and optional mods
Because PNP transistor fuzzes are positive-ground circuits, they must have a separate power supply from the rest of the effects in a chain. To overcome this limitation, a charge pump chip has been integrated to allow this board to be powered by the same source as all of your other effects. This is great for daisy-chained pedal boards, as well as integrating this into an enclosure with other effects circuits
This compact board is designed to easily accommodate germanium transistors up to a TO-5 package size, which covers the majority of available Ge transistor models available today
Some vintage transistors may introduce high-end hiss. Optional modifications in this layout provide a filter which eliminate this hiss while retaining that vintage tone and clarity, even on the highest guitar notes
Modern features such as reverse-polarity protection diode, pull-down resistor, and biasing trimmer pot have been added
Works great with a Stage 3 Mini Booster and a Mini-Me Chorus
